rh. mannfneture Of RIhnon..

IL n known that the manufacture OF
ribbons was fairly established In 81. Ell
enne, France, In the eleventh century, and
| that the plfce remains 10 this day the
| principal cchter Of the industry. During
| the persecution Of tho HuguenOts In that
country many Of tho 81. Etlenno Oper-
atiyes went 20 Basic, Switzerland, and cs
tablishcl the industry there, where II be-
came second only % ST. Etlcnne. The
| third most important center was Coven'
try, Eng, but Crefeld and Vienna are
also large producing centers. To-day
there are manufactured In the United
States quite us many ribbons rs are made
In ST. Etenne. The product OF Switzer'
land consists mainly Of plain styles; That
OF France largely Of fine and fancy milf
merry goods; that OF Crcfcld mainly OF
black silk and black velvet ribbons, the
latter u specially; that Of England lnrgely
OF plain goods; while the United States
tries everything with much success,
though dependent chiefly upon Europe for
the lead In styles.
IL Is q curious fact that for 800 years
ribbons were worn mostly by men rather
thnn by women, especially during the
long period Of effemlnacy In the male at
tire In the fifteenth 10 the seventeenth
centuries their use In England was re-
strictcd 10 the royalty and gentry by
statute. In the time OF Charles II and
James II the whole attire was covered
with ribbons. A fop IN those days was
described rs wearing more than would
stock half dozen shops or twenty coun-
try peddlers" IL Is another curious fact
that IN the manufacture OF ribbons the
self acting loom was In use 100 years be-
fore Cartwright's invention, and that In
more recent times little new has been
added in that branch OF the silk industry.

WHEN WE WE'RE CHILDREN.

An Afternoon with Our Queer Couilns
Tho Family Teeth.
81 shall never forget the visits we used
to make when we were children. Once
in just so long we were particularly
scrubbed and starchcd and sent down u
spend IN afternoon with the Rimers. II
was dreary work enough, and for months
i used to dread the visit. Mother always
gave us straw to braid. and my sister and
1 and the two Rmcr children, first of all,
sat in straight chairs, with our feet
dangling, and braided our 'stcnt' Their
there was one book Jack tho Gail
Killer that we looked at, listlessly
enough, for we knew every word and
every picture by heart. After Jack we
were permitted to examine two small toy
bureaus with glass doors. Then we might
walk slowly five times about the tiny
flower garden paths and see the balm md
candytuft. We must not moye beyond a
slow pace or something might happen to
our clean tires These tires we all wore;
they were of bingham, and completely
covered our dresses, and were so stiff with
starch that they stool out like pasteboard
around us and cracked when removed.
"By the time we had walked about the
garden in this way 1t would be about half
after 4, and supper was at 8 invariably
We went into the house and were now
entertained in curious way. AS great
treat we were shown the teeth which had
been extracted from the Jaws of the Rmer
family from youth up; even the grinders
which Mr.. Rimar's first wife had lost
when In the flesh were among the collcc-
ton. All had been carefully preserved
There were teeth with immense roots,
some of them curved; these last, we werG
told, come awful hard, and had to lie
taken with rollers To this day l have
the strangest idea as TO what rollers
may be.
There were milk teeth without any
roots; some OF these Julia and Clara
Rtner selected with triumph, for they Ind
been taken from their own mouths, and
they endeavored to illustrate the oper-
atoms | saw that these teeth were a
source of deep and constant interest to the
Rimer children as well as to their mother,
and used TO wonder why we had no such
assortment TO display 10 our visitors. ]
once suggested 10 my mother that she
begin the forming Of this kind Of u
museum, and when she said she did not
think it was worth while, I responded that
ne mustn't make us have the Rimcr
children visit us then, for teeth were what
amused them most and we had none to
show them, heard so many times all
the particulars of the pulling of the big
gest teeth, that could even now tell each
story without missing word, and
could attach each story to its proper
tooth.
CATER this appetiling occupation sup.
per came, and after supper we went home,
Starting out hand in hand, and going
Fith unconscious staidness until we were
np the hill and ont Of sight of the house,
when we began 10 frlsk, and in the next
few minutes | am afraid we mussed our
lires more than in the whole afternoon
previous. New York Tribune

Was America Eyer Discovered!

At the time whin Columbus started in
search of the New World, nearly every man,
woman aud child in Europe insisted that
there was no New World to discover. When
he came back, crowned with success, a
large proportion of these good people nd-
hered to their theory; aud if they were alive
today many of them would doubtless insist
that America had never been discovered at
all. A man will give mp anything in the
world more readily than n pet theory For
example, look al the individuals who still
maintain that consumption is inrurable.
DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery has
cured thousands upon thousands of cases,
and will cure thousands more, but these
people can't give up their point. Never
theless the discovery" will cure any case
of consumption, if taken in time.

MUTABiLITY.

In eastern annals we nrc told
This story Of n king OF I'D,
Whose hope was high, whose heart elate,
When fortune favored crown and state,
Whose spirit bowed In dark despair,
when adverse murmurs rent the air.
From those who 10 his smile espied,
He as birthday gift desired
A sentence brief to grace his ring
Thut solacc and advice wonld bring.
Wise words were sought by sage and seer,
But naught could comfort him or cheer.
Ills daughter knclt before the throne,
And gave TO him an emerald stone
On which was traced IN letters bright,
"This, too, win pass" The maid was right;
Her choice OF words 80 pleased the king,
lie had them craven on his ring.
''Ths, too, win pass" he humbly said,
When fields were won and kingdom spread,
"Tlis, zoo, will pass, he meekly cried,
When trenson's plots his patience tried,
And trusting In this sentence true,
Was free from Joy Or care undue.

constant marvel at the sea side resorts,
where he spends his summers, on account
of his long distance swimming. He picks

Tho Paris Academy of Medicine is going

Tho Paris Academy of Medicine is going
to discuss, some time hence, the question
of mental overwork; and the results Of
these discussions, If carefully prepared
and well backed by good documents, will
certainly prove most interesting The
evil effects Of overwork must certainly be
enormous in France, not only from the
mental point Of view, but also as concerns
the influence on physical development; all
the more SO that gymnastics and sports
are not enough sought for and cultivated
to counterfeit the bad effects of mental
strain. Science.

New Variety of Asparagus.

A new and extraordinarily fine variety
of asparagus has just been discovered on
the steppes of Akhal-Tekiz, recently an
nexed by Russia. Though growing per-
fectly wild, it attains size unknown in
civilized countries. The stalks are said to
be nearly as thick as mans arm, and
they grow to height of five or six feet
This asparagus is tender and delicious in
flavor One stalk will supply ten Rus

An Albany paper tells Of well to do
but very careful gentleman who recently
told friend in good faith that he had
discovered how to save on his butter bills.
"Just spread your bread with BUTTER"
said he, "then scrape it off as closely as
you can, and hold the buttered side down
when you eat it. Your tongue strikes the
butter at once, and you get just as much
flavor as if you had three times as much
butter and ate it the other way. New

About II o'clock Thursday
night fire broke out in the stable
of the Capitol Brewing Co., on the
alley between Nero street and the
Fort Hill and Ann and High streets,
and as the wind was blowing a
perfect gale from the west the
flames spread rapidly until the
stable, and barley house of the Cap
itol Brewing Co., and two double
tenement houses belonging to
Mrs. Petrie, on the east side of
the alley, were soon one sheet OF
fire. 1t looked for a time as if the
whole of "Freestown" would be
burned out, but the fire depart
ment were on hand promptly, and
BY hard work confined the flames
to the buildings named. The
east side and root of the large ice
house of the Brewing Company
was badly damaged, but was
saved by a liberal use of water.
The Petrie houses were all oc-
cupied by colored people. some
of whom lost most of their house
hold goods, The loss is about
$1,000. The Brewing Co. is fully
insured. but Mrs. Petrie had little
or no insurance.
The high wind carried shower
of sparks far up Holmes street,
and it was only by the constant
use Of water upon the roofs of the
houses on High street, by the
Hook and Ladder Company and
the occupants, that they were kept
from burning.

Clthly meeting
vt the Board of Trade was held on
Monday evening, and was largely
attended. The report of the CON-
mittee on the Beattyville dam
elected quite a lively discussion,
in which Mr., John Patrick and
Mr.. Herd, gentlemen living
above the dam, and who had
come to this city with RATS Of
logs, participated. They stated
that the dam was a great obstruc-
tion to navigation, as they could
not put their RATS through the
chutes without having them torn
to pieces. Resolutions were
adopted directing a committee to
correspond with the War Depart
ment and ask for relief.
The committee on natural gas
made an interesting report, which
was adopted.
Prof. J. r. Proctor, State
Geologist, was present by invita-
ton and addressed the meeting at
length with regard to the resources
of Franklin county, and as to the
best interests of Frankfort. His
remarks were very interesting and
held the closest attention of those
present.
The committee to attend the
railroad meeting at Paris was en-
larged so as to include every
member Of the Board who could
possibly attend.
Every business man in the city
should make it point to attend
the meetings of the Board, for it
Frankfort is ever to have a boom
it will he worked up through the
medium of this organization.
